Planning your bridesmaids' attire for the big day? Don't forget about the shoes! Often overlooked, shoes can make (or break) the look you are after.  Most brides consult with their attendants about the style and color of dress to be chosen, taking into consideration each woman’s body type, what they would be comfortable wearing, etc., before making a choice.

Depending on the number of bridesmaids in your wedding, the decision can become very complicated.  Add the choice of shoes to the mix, and the stress level can skyrocket!

The best thing to do, is to keep it simple. An attractive shoe with a little bit of a heel (not too high and not flats) usually works best if your attendants are similar in height - if not, then you may want to consider different heel heights and their ability to wear them. The color of their dress is another consideration when selecting a shoe - their feet should all match and of course, coordinate with the dress.

Unless they are in agreement on the exact style of shoe, selecting a dyeable shoe might be the way to go. At one time, that was a very expensive route to take, however the changes in the dye process have made it more affordable today - and the good (money saving) thing is that they can be re-dyed to another color later, so they are not just a 'one event' shoe!
